Hey Guys - As some of you may know, Simon Lovell recently suffered a very serious fall and as a result, he has gone through extensive surgery. Although he is now doing much better, he still has quite a long way to go in his recovery. And, he is still facing a rather long stay at his current care fac...

Am really sorry to hear this. Still don't have a time, but for those in NYC that want a ride to the funeral, I have three more spaces in my car available. Send me an email at John@JohnBorn.com if you would like to join.

Hello - For those that were waiting for reviews, you can read the latest one from Tom Frame here at the genii online reviews <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.geniimagazine.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=234339#Post234339">http://www.geniimagazine.com/forums/ubb ...

Hehe Dorian the only way you could help is to join me as I read, memorize, and make effort to be in contact with all of the thank you's and acknowledgements in the thousands of books in front of me. This way this sort of truly critical error can be avoided in the future. :-) In all seriousness, this...

I understand. It is pretty safe to say anyone on this thread enjoys and is fascinated by any information or "secrets" regarding this topic. In this book, I share some of mine, and am always first in line when others do the same.

What is your point? I am going through my library and have yet to find a poker or protection resource that even mentions Norman Beck. If they did, I would have been more keen on contacting him. Even if every poker resource was first to thank him, I obviously did not need his input to create the publ...

Kent - I am merely entertained by the term in how others have labeled his contributions to this thread. As I mentioned before, I don't know the guy outside of his present interaction, and have not said anything to discredit his knowledge. Am simply responding to his posts here. And yes, his approach...

Norman - Regardless of your knowledge, you are not representing yourself well, and your tone has been clear. You literally have people shaking their head, saying "Thank goodness I have never had to deal with these ass-hats..." Your best route is to back off and let things work themselves o...

My stake is that I spent an incredible amount of time over an 8 year + span writing this project and then putting it to press in a first class presentation. As mentioned before, it is a project of passion. If it was about the money, I wouldn't be writing anything for the poker or magic community in ...

Gentlemen - You are truly entertaining. Anyone that wants to read my project can find it at <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.CheatingAtTexasHoldem.com">www.CheatingAtTexasHoldem.com</a><!-- w -->, and I welcome all rational reviews and responses. Thank you for taking such an interest i...

Gentlemen I have not disrespected Mr. Beck in any way. I simply recognized that his demand for a money-back guarantee was unreasonable and uncharacteristic in our trade. He could have been Phil Ivy, Forte, or anyone else, and it wouldnt have been his place to assume any type of buy-back agreement in...

I am offering this to the few here that need the guarantee to give it a shot. I am happy to offer this simply because no one will be able to meet the conditions presented above as it is very much worthwhile to those interested in the topic.

All I would suggest, Norman, is that you give a little more thought and consideration in the future before noting how you called and someone folds, especially when based on special conditions you feel important enough to create and push in a public forum.

Hi Norman - Not at all. I was simply making an example, as I am sure that every author in our community that puts out a book on magic does not need this type of third degree. With that said, I will happily give you a 100% refund on the retail value of the book if 1) it is not a worthwhile/educationa...

Actually, Norman, in your case after consideration I have decided to make a one-time exception, and heres how. I mean, I have not once heard your name before, and I dont know anything about you. However, after googling your name I see you have an interest in lecturing for magicians and have done a c...

Hi Norman Hope all is well! I am sure that I have made it clear from my previous releases for the magic community that if I make the effort to create a product, it is because I have something to bring to the table. In the past, whenever I bought a book regarding cheating at poker, I would find it wo...

Hello Gentlemen My apologies for the delay in response. Crazy busy Saturday, but nonetheless made some time so that hopefully some things are cleared up. It would be my pleasure to tell you more about this project and how it came about. I began writing Cheating At Texas Holdem over 8 years ago. I wa...

Ha! Roger, first of I am merely presenting YouTube clips, and personal attacks based on sharing a clearly basement quality expose is nonsense. There was no reason for me to ever even think this was " stolen" as I was first exposed to this at a public forum where Doc was clearly posting and...

Actually your post contradicts itself. If they do not have permission to give an endorsement, how could they have permission to release video content? I think the point that is being made is that asking anyone other than the owner of the content is irrelevant. In that case, it is bbc. When it comes ...

Sure it all makes sense, and no harm done. My complete focus is on the original content that I bring to the table, and offer the public videos as an extra. Am contacting the web developers today to have the front page videos removed. This is actually a great discussion, as most of the public links t...

Not a problem at all! Think its pretty clear my intention is not to step on toes, but only provide a resource. It would be my pleasure to contact the site developers tomorrow to remove the forte and bbc. With that said, exciting original content coming soon. For those of you that are interested in p...

I am simply embedding youtube videos on this topic that may be of interest. Is no problem if something needs removed. At this time anything that has a public setting on youtube is public domain, publicly accessible, and available for embedding. Any issues of what should or shouldn't be publicly avai...

All the videos shown are public youtube videos, which are public domain. I am creating a one stop source for many publicly available videos that have to do with this subject, as well as a free original video series. Naturally anyone that doesn't want me to bring attention to their youtube videos I w...

Was featured last night on MSNBC last night to demonstrate CIA techniques from the 50's - inspired from the manual from John Mulholland.

You got it Richard. The performer opens and closes it. I worked out a different solution for the spectator to open a purse, however, it really limits what can be done compared to the version I released (which allows for a greater range of performance options, such as two ways out). Either way it is ...
